I''ve searched all night long on google, discussions, threads, and the xen wiki... but I can''t find how to do this: vif = [''type=ioemu,mac=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX,model=ne2k_pci''] where should I put this? I have sxce94, dom0 works nicely, and domUs too, but I''d like to select ne2k for an hvm openbsd dom0 that I''ve created because I''ve read

Hi all, I''m putting together a OpenSolaris ZFS-based system and need help picking hardware.

I just installed CentOS 4.1 for the first time - I did a "minimal install"... Now I'm trying to install Xen - according to several online resources I should just be able to run `yum install xen`, but yum never finds the package - though tcpdump shows http traffic going to lists.centos.org: [root at centos ~]# yum install xen Setting up Install Process Setting up Repos update

Hi, am I doing something wrong, ZFS does not support that or there is a bug that zvol clone does not show up under /dev/zvol after creating it from other zvol snapshot? # zfs list -t all | grep local local 136G 76.8G 144K none local/home 117G 76.8G 117G /home local/vm 18.4G 76.8G 144K

Hello, I was doing performance testing, validating zvol performance in particularly, and found that zvol write performance to be slow ~35-44MB/s at 1MB blocksize writes. I then tested the underlying zfs file system with the same test and got 121MB/s. Is there any way to fix this? I really would like to have compatible performance between the zfs filesystem and the zfs zvols. # first test is a

Short:     Which package do I need to install to get "auto/I18N/Langinfo/autosplit.ix"? Long: The problem I have was discussed almost a year ago (see this thread), but the resolution was not complete... I''m using Mark Johnson''s slim.py script (package list below), against repo=http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev, followed by `pkg install xvm-gui` and `svcadm enable

Looks like I forgot to send this to the alias... MRJ ---- A quick heads up for the iscsi, zvol, and vdisk format putback I did into the 3.3 development gate. ISCSI ===== With this putback, you can now install onto and boot a guest using iSCSI disk(s). The iscsi formats supported are: phy:iscsi:/alias/<iscsi-alias> phy:iscsi:/static/<server IP>/<lun>/<target

Hi, I have a question, let''s say I have a zvol named vol1 which is a clone of a snapshot of another zvol (its origin property is tank/myvol at mysnap). If I send this zvol to a different zpool through a zfs send does it send the origin too that is, does an automatic promotion happen or do I end up whith a broken zvol? Best regards. Maurilio. -- This message posted from

I''ve been experimenting with a two system setup in snv_134 where each system exports a zvol via COMSTAR iSCSI. One system imports both its own zvol and the one from the other system and puts them together in a ZFS mirror. I manually faulted the zvol on one system by physically removing some drives. What I expect to happen is that ZFS will fault the zvol pool and the iSCSI stack will

G''day, all, So, I''ve decided to migrate my home server from Linux+swRAID+LVM to Solaris+ZFS, because it seems to hold much better promise for data integrity, which is my primary concern. However, naturally, I decided to do some benchmarks in the process, and I don''t understand why the results are what they are. I though I had a reasonable understanding of ZFS, but now

Hi, I''m experimenting with btrfs on top of zvol block device (using zfsonlinux), and got oops on a simple mount test. While I''m sure that zfsonlinux is somehow also at fault here (since the same test with zram works fine), the oops only shows things btrfs-related without any usable mention of zfs/zvol. Could anyone help me interpret the kernel logs, which btrfs-zvol interaction

I''ve upgraded my system from ufs to zfs (root pool). By default, it creates a zvol for dump and swap. It''s a 4GB Ultra-45 and every late night/morning I run a job which takes around 2GB of memory. With a zvol swap, the system becomes unusable and the Sun Ray client often goes into "26B". So I removed the zvol swap and now I have a standard swap partition. The

After multiple power outages caused by storms coming through, I can no longer access /dev/zvol/dsk/poolname, which are hold l2arc and slog devices in another pool I don''t think this is related, since I the pools are ofline pending access to the volumes. I tried running find /dev/zvol/dsk/poolname -type f and here is the stack, hopefully this someone a hint at what the issue is, I have

I'm setting up a new fileserver. It has two RAID controllers, a PERC 3/DI providing mirrored system disks and a PERC 3/DC providing a 1TB RAID5 volume consisting of eight 144GB U160 drives. This will serve NFS, Samba and sftp clients for about 200 users. The logical drive was created with the following settings: RAID = 5 stripe size = 32kb write policy = wrback read policy =

Hi all! First off, if this has been discussed, please point me in that direction. I have searched high and low and really can''t find much info on the subject. We have a large-ish (200gb) UFS file system on a Sun Enterprise 250 that is being shared with samba (lots of files, mostly random IO). OS is Solaris 10u3. Disk set is 7x36gb 10k scsi, 4 internal 3 external. For several
